Synopsis
Patterns are found in math, reading, science, music, art, dance, and poetry--and in the world all around us.
They are also found in this delightful book written by educator Trudy Harris. Children will love the humor and predictability of this story, and teachers and parents alike will appreciate the pattern hunt that will send kids back into the book looking for more patterns again and again.
Here's a perfect set of books to build reading skills for a content area in which it is sometimes difficult to find literary resources: mathematics.
In each of these unique volumes, poetry, stories, and trivia combine to illustrate math principles for young readers. The lighthearted illustrations and storylines show students how fascinating the world of numbers and math concepts can be.

Reviews
PreSchool-Grade 1-Although there's not much of a story line in this appealing concept book, there is definitely more here than initially meets the eye. The rhyming prose and brightly colored cartoon fish inhabit a world of patterns, beginning with the simplest AB pattern and growing increasingly complex. Upon closer inspection, the patterns can be seen echoing throughout, as pictures both express and reinforce the pattern of the words. For example, the ABB pattern introduced by an eel is echoed not only on the creature's body (stripe-dot-dot), but also in the bubbles that issue from its mouth (large-small-small), the underwater reeds (short-tall-tall) and plants (curve-star-star), and borders of the page (yellow-red-red). Once children get the idea, they will enjoy discovering the repetition and looking for examples. A clear and effective teaching tool.
